Below is just a summary of what improved for each of the top 12 picks in this years draft after their first TC. Enjoy.

1.
Indiana Pacers - David Walker PF 6'11'' 235 19
Before: A- C C- B C+ A
After: A- C C- B+ C+ B
Overall: +1 defense; David Walker was the obvious #1 pick with this selection. With his inside game and outside game already looking solid, the only thing for him to really improve was his defense and rebounding skills and he improved a little defensively. Hopefully with whatever potential is left they will improve even more in the next few years.
2.
Milwaukee Bucks - Ben Rollins SG 6'5'' 200 20
Before: A- C+ C- C+ C A
After: A- B- C C+ C+ A
Overall: +1 outside, +1 handling, +1 rebounding; Rollins had a very solid +3 overall TC. After that he could have very well been selected #1 overall over David Walker. People are already compairing him to DeMar DeRozan in this league. I think Rollins will be the best player coming out of this draft after seeing his first TC.
3.
New Orleans Hornets - Jackson Roberson SF 6'10'' 225 22
Before: B- B- C B- C A
After: B- B- C B- C B
Overall: No changes; it is too early to say anything yet about Roberson. He didn't impress anyone after his first TC but that doesn't mean that he didn't improve any or that he doesn't have much potential left. I don't think Roberson should have been selected so high though after seeing these results. Maybe a few RC's will raise a few ratings up to the next grade.
4.
Detroit Pistons - Jarrett Jordan SF 6'8'' 223 19
Before: C B C+ B C A
After: C+ B+ C+ B+ C A
Overall: +1 inside scoring, +1 outside scoring, +1 defense; very good TC for Jarrett going +3 overall. I wasn't expecting him to be this good after the first TC, but he looks like he has an all around style of game and still looks like he has some potential left to get even better. We'll have to wait and see. Jordan should have gone over Roberson imo.
5.
Los Angeles Clippers - Jacquez Knight PG 6'3'' 192 19
Before: B- C+ B- C+ C A
After: B C+ B B C A
Overall: +1 inside scoring, +1 handling, +2 defense; DAYUMM, I knew this guy was going to be good and I had my eye on him if I weren't to move up in the draft. Knight is one of those point guards that any team would like, he can get to the basket, pass and defend. Lets hope turnovers aren't a problem for him though.
6.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Mitchell Jordan SG 6'6'' 217 22
Before: B+ B- C- C C- A
After: B+ B- C C+ C- A
Overall: +1 handling, +1 defense; Mitchell improved in his two weakest catagories which is always a good thing. I am sure he improved his scoring attributes a few points too. Mitchell could be a pretty good pick if his next TC improves him some more and the Cavs can RC him in the right catagories. Decent TC overall.
7.
Utah Jazz - Daryl Saunders PF 6'8'' 255 20
Before: B- C+ D+ C+ B- A
After: C+ C+ C- C+ B- B
Overall: -1 inside, +1 handling; Disgusting TC for Saunders... I thought he would have been better than this but he doesn't look too impressive right now. The Jazz better hope he has potential left or this was kind of a wasted pick I am sorry to say. There were PF's available of this caliber in the early 20's of the draft.
8.
New Orleans Hornets - Jarek Milankovic PG 6'1'' 185 22
Before: C A- B- C+ D A
After: C A- B B- D B
Overall: +1 handling, +1 defense; Better than what I had expected from Jarek. I didn't really think he was going to be this great after the first TC but I thought wrong. Jarek has a solid outside game already and both his handling and defense is all that is really left to improve. Jarek won't ever be a good rebounder so that isn't anything to be worried about.
9.
New Orleans Hornets - Soren Overgaard SF 6'9'' 230 19
Before: C B- C- C+ C A
After: C B+ C- B- C A
Overall: +2 outside, +1 defense; Very very impressive TC for Overgaard. Improving two letter grades in one TC is always impressive. I think Soren can end up being a very good player in a few years. HE has the height and seems pretty big for his position.
10. Charlotte Bobcats - Jarret Ellis C 7'1'' 225 19
Before: C+ D C- A- C A
After: C+ D C B+ C B
Overall: +1 handling, -1 defense; this was pretty obvious to me, Ellis looked like he was a bust from the beginning. Not much to say here but I don't think he will ever be any better than what his ratings show now.
11.
Dallas Mavericks - Tristan Wesley SF 6'7'' 215 23
Before: B A- C C+ C B
After: B A- C- B C+ B
Overall: -1 handling, +2 defense, +1 rebounding; Who said this guy didn't have much potential? He improved two letter grades in his defense which is huge for the Mavericks. This guy could be a beast after some RC's, solid pick for the Mavericks even though he took a risk at first.
12.
San Antonio Spurs - Andrew Nielsen C 7'3'' 290 21
Before: B- C+ C- B+ C B
After: B- C+ D+ A- C B
Overall: -1 handling, +1 defense; Nielsen should be a pretty good backup center for the Spurs. He doesn't look too impressive rebounding the ball so I don't think he'll ever be a starter for anyone.
13.
Washington Wizards - Damian Drake C 6'11'' 240 22
Before: C+ C+ D+ B C+ B
After: C+ C+ D+ B+ B- B
Overall: +1 defense, +1 rebounding; Damian improved in the two most important catagories for a big man to improve in, Rebounding and defense. Drake could be a very solid player if he is RC'd correctly. I was looking at trying to snag Damian at #18 but Wizards took him this early, after the first TC I can see why he was taken so high.
14.
Toronto Raptors - Trenton Bailey PG 6'3'' 188 20
Before: C B B A- C B
After: C B+ B+ A- C B
Overall: +1 outside, +1 handling; Bailey looks like he is the best overall point guard out of this draft after the first TC ratings wise, But I still think that Knight will be the better of the two once its all said and done.
